THE CONCEPT

It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)

Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

I am working on a short film about a man who makes a sandwich and the lunch truck that pulls up by his work which temps him from his sandwich. The truck sells Crepes and Baguettes.

I really want you to have free reign here and go nuts. Your rap is most excellent and I can’t think of a more comedic combo of a hip hop song about baguette and crepes song emanating from a LA roach coach.

I was thinking Blackalicious Chemical Calisthenics if you’d just like to throw out all sorts of French things and words.

Love your new songs, but the “Right Click, Save As” is not working. Anyone who wants to get the songs, just left click on the button that you usually right click on, and then save the link that comes up. Ur welcome! ^_^

This song request sounds like somebody wanted you to make a cheap knock-off of the Flight Of The Conchords song “Foux Du Fa Fa” because they say baguette and other stuff that sounds like french nonsense words but if you know french it actually kinda makes sense (they also talk about the “biblioteque”…) I’m just glad that’s not what you made it sound like!!! (I love the Conchords, I was just hoping this didn’t sound to much like their song XD )

I’m pretty sure that I heard the crepe vendor mention le dejeuner petit ou grand. If I’m right, in this case, the vendor was talking about a large or small lunch. You should be careful, however, because le petit dejeuner is also French for breakfast.

First of all, this song is incredible – I’ve listened to it over and over and over, and it never gets old! Also, I’ve been studying French for a little while, and I’ve come up with a rough translation (keep in mind that it preserves the flavor of Andrew’s random, nonsensical brilliance.)

-crepes of France, I eat when I dance
-I’m twenty-five years old, (and on and on and on)
-I think that I’m called a baguette
-in the library (with) cutting up some cheese
-croissant, what’s that? There!
-wait [do you wait?] / what do you expect, I don’t understand
-I don’t know what, it’s there, (que sera sera) and here we go
-with lunch, big or little / with a big lunch or breakfast [play on words]
-poutine [French-Canadian dish of fries, cheese curd, and gravy], no, but baguette, yes
-outside, we’re support for hobos / vagabonds
-our tastes are on the forefront
-appreciate your palette / place value on your tastes
-we destroy the crepes and baguettes

Is it meant to be total french gooble? I especially like the lines, “crepes of france, I eat when I dance” (how did you get that to rhyme?), “We destroy the crepes and baguettes” and, the best one of all, “I think that i’m called a baguette”
Awesome song!
